Students Play
Carillon Daily
The student carilloneurs will
hold their first concert on April
29th at 5:00, playing a combina-
tion of tuneful French and Eng-
lish May Day songs.
This concert is actually only
one of the many afternoons of
music that the student carillon-
eurs have been giving the college
throughout the year. For the
first time in Wellesley's history,
the chimes in Tower have been
played regularly in the late after-
noons by Wellesley students.
Under the direction of Miss Flor-
ence Risley, Head of House at
Cazenove, Mrs. Scott, Lecturer in
Hygiene and Physical Education,
and Miss Dennis, Associate Pro-
fessor of French, these students
have played during the first semes-
ter on Wednesday and Sunday
afternoons and during the second
semester every afternoon except
Saturday.
Daily Chimes
On Mondays, the chimes are
played by Nancy Bartram '48 and
Ruth Wick '48, on Tuesdays by
Elsa Ekblaw '48 and Joan Lan-
caster '48. on Wednesdays by
Betty Hart '48 and Nancy Kent
'48, on Thursdays by Gwendolyn
Werth '48 and Helen Rise '48, on
Fridays by Mary-Ann LeBedoff
'48 and Judith Brown '48, and on
Sundays by Barbara Chapline '46,
Joanne Reiman '46, Sarai Golomb
'47 with Miss Risley, Mrs. Scott,
and Miss Dennis filling in at odd
times.
On weekdays, the carilloneurs
may play anything that they
know that seems appropriate. One
afternoon, the college was amused
to hear the dignified notes of the
chimes play "Happy Birthday to
You" as one carilloneur honoured
the birthday of a friend. On

Four Students
Design Murals
To Adorn Well
Wellesley traditions will be pic-
tured in four murals soon to adorn
the walls of the Well, thanks to
the four girls who elected Art
208, Composition. The four large
panels in the main room of the
Well will depict Tree Day, Step
Singing, May Day and Float
Night.
The murals will be painted in
abstract rather than conventional
form. The Tree Day mural depicts
the Tree Day Mistress and her at-
tendants, standing on a green is-
land in the form of a tree —
symbol of the tradition. In the
background are people running,
led by someone who is clutching B
spade. In the foreground are spec-
tators, their heads so much larg-
er than those of the rest of the
characters in the mural that some-
one looking at the picture might
be standing directly behind them.
This mural is being painted by
Sally Russell. '15.
Other Familiar Scenes
Barhara Boole, '46, is working
on the May Day scene, which
shows the famous senior hoop-
rolling race and the blotter
mation. In the middle of the mural
is the large bridal bouquet award-
ed to the winner of the race, who,
according to pre-war tradition,
would be the first class bride. The
road sides are lined with people
cheering the runners.
The Float Night mural is bi
painted by Pat Zipprodt, '46, in
the middle of which are tin
canoes forming the "W." In the
■round is a large float bear-
ing costumed participants in the
pageant. An exciting crew race is
also in full swing. In the fore-
ground are the spectators, wear-
ing class caps, and looking with
interest upon the gay display be-
fore them.
Step Singing is interpreted by
Peggy Bonsai, '45. In the middle
is a giant songleader in cap and
gown leading a group of singers.
Slightly below her and on a much
smaller scale, is the entire step-
singing scene, picturing the Chapel
and the singers gathered about the
steps. In the upper right-hand
corner is Green Arch, through
which gowned seniors are march-
ing, bearing the familar paper
lanterns. In the background is the
group of typical spectators.
Preliminary Work
Many preliminary sketches had
to be made before the actual
painting of the murals began.
First, the class decided on the
four scenes, and then each girl
made several ink-wash drawings.
The artists with Miss Abbott chose
to use abstract instead of conven-
tional scenes because, according to
Barbara Boole, "We thought the
style more sophisticated and ap-

Connors Claims Political Ladder

Margaret Connors, young Br
port lawyer, when in

Monday. "In I S Connors
added, "women in politics have a
definite advantage— there are few-

Miss Connors, who spoke on
April 23 at a joint lecture, spon-

Science Department. graduated
from Wellesley in 1935. Since re-
ceiving her degree from Yale Law
School, she has had not only an
active law practice, which include -
her present position as legislative
counsel for the C.I.O. in Bridge-
port, but has also found time dur-
ing the last election to run
for the position of Congresswoman
nst her successful opponent,
Clare Boothe Luce.
Contrary to the opinion that she
was chosen to oppose Mrs. Luce
because she could "hit below the
when a man could not, Misa
Connors said that it was the pres-
sure of the women in the state
Democratic party which brought
about her nomination.
"There were no women included
on the State ballot, and so natur-
ally, there had to be a woman on
the Congressional ballot. The
women voters were mad by this
united — for a change,"
she added with a gleam in her
eye. "That's how I got on the

people who have had the opportunity to obtain
a liberal education. Are we to fail in the re-
sponsibility thai i held out to us? To suc-
ceed wi must keep a constant vigilance over
world affairs, In college we have been given
i in key to a fund of information. In the world
we will be given the opportunity to use this
information.
The strength of a nation depends upon the
ngth of it.- people; intellectual strength even
more than physical strength. The United States
ha- already shown that it has the physical
power to overcome its enemies. The time is
fast drawing near when it musi prove that it
has the intellectual strength to combat the
problems which the victory of physioal strength
has brought. As people with intelligent minds
it is the duty, ii"t merely the responsibility
of each Wellesley Btudent to keep herself posted
on world affaire, to assimilate her information
and i" form her own opinions from her in-
formation. Then and only then has she the
righl in express herself.
PECULIAR POSITION
Among the numerous post-wai topics being
discussed is a topic about us, college women.
I Iducatow are counting upon us. Industry is
wondering about us. Rehabilitation experts are
advising us. We are being discussed because
voung women and as college students in
war-time we form mie of the manv peculiarly
equipped groups which must work together for
enduring security. International, national, so-
cial, eoonomic problems will confront every in-
dividual in our nation; college women will come
to meet these issues differently prepared than
any other group. We are being discussed by
those who hope we will recognize our unique
position and plan for a constructive contribu-
tion based upon it.
We at college now are aware of our privilege
in being here. More important, we came to
college and we have stayed in college because
we realized the great need of our country for
alert, able individuals. When one is capable
oi doing something that should be done, he be-
comes responsible for doing it. Our respon-
sibility is increased because we have taken this
time oi preparation. We are learning theorie
watching world government at work We are be-
ing encouraged to be alerl and articulate.
Serein lies our danger. As Dr. Mar-
ret Mead suggested to Mademoiselle's polit-
ical forum, women are actually a "psycholog-
ical minority." We must larrj the torch
"i democratic ideals ostentatiously. As the
liberally educated oi ;eneration, college
women face the possible danger of so overdoing
their articulateness foi ideals thai veterans will
consider the ideals themselves feminine
expressions This may seem a far possibility,
but it is a thought we insider. If, on
othei hand, recognizing our peculiar position
college women, we are ashamed oi these four
college pears, we will be failing. In putt □
all our resoui the disposal oi the world
we live m, we must recognize the uniqueness
oi our gifts and contribute them with proud
humility.

can we justifiably criticize them
for passing laws we don't want

away from the world, when we
fall down on our duties as citi-
zens? When you feel strongly
about some issue that is coming

don't feel strongly about the mat-
ters coming up in Congress, stop
letting your mind slop around in
bedroom slippers. Read the news-

casts and commentators, do some
thinking, and get some opinions
of your own.
World Economy
Our part in the Bretton Woods
agreement has to be approved by
the United States Senate by De-
cember 81, 1945. The world econ-
omy depends on our cooperation.
We have the money and the goods,
and the rest of the world is wait-
ing to see how we will handle
them. If we do not decide to re-
ject the temptation to form an
"empire" in this part of the world,
to take the short term view and
hold selfishly to what we have and
may have at the expense of others,
the rest of the world will turn to
other methods than Bretton Woods
to regulate their economies. We
will work into the strains and
frictions of after the last war. Ex-

United States lowers her tariffs

we lower our tariffs to a point
where they can afford to sell their
goods in our markets. Trade is a
two-way affair. The United States
is still basking in the game of
giving all, taking nothing, and
letting the rest of the world stew
in its own juice trying to find
gold to pay their debts. And then
we go and put the gold in the
ground in Fort Knox. This cannot
last. If the Bretton Woods or-
ganization is to work, and if the
world is to avoid another depres-
sion, tariffs must be pushed
down. Write to your Congressman.
Tell him to vote for the continua-
tion of the Reciprocal Trade Act
of 1943. This bill is now before the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee, and it provides for the lower-
ing of tariffs up to 75 per cent of
foreign countries will make re-
the rates in effect in 1934, if
ciprocal concessions.

o
Infirmary
To the Editor:
Recently a Free Press entitled
"Medical Treatment," which ap-
peared in the April 5th issue of
News, was called to my attention.
Frankly I do not believe that the
medical staff of Wellesley Col-
lege needs to be defended by me
or by anyone else. Its thoroughly
professional attitude, its complete
efficiency, its untiring devotion to
the welfare of the college com-
munity are its own defense. How-
ever, 1 do feel that the sentiments
expressed in that letter were
prompted by woeful miscompre-
hension or just plain ignorance,
and that I, as a layman, having
spent the greater part of my col-
lege career under the care of Wel-
lesley's doctors and in the In-
firmary, am obligated and quali-
fied to clear up some of the doubts
which seem to be troubling the
student body.
What "46" considers the "very
unfortunate attitude of the whole
medical staff of the college" hap-
pens to be the attitude of the med-
ical profession in general. Medical
records are sacred and private. I
have never known them to be put
at the patient's disposal for read-
ing matter. Often the Wellesley
reports contain confidential in
mation which parents have sub-
mitted to the doctors. It stands to
reason that a layman reading a
medical report will not und( rstand
—or even worse — will only half
understand the data printed there
and can easily plunge herself into
confusion with vague im-
aginings. If a student is perfectly
healthy, there is no reason why
she should read her medical rec-
ord. There are other outlet,
her intellectual curiosity at Wel-
lesley College. If a student has
some physical handicap, she is
given a re-examination; she can
discuss her problems "honestly
and frankly"' with the staff; and
the doctors in turn do their best
to formulate some health plan
that will enable her to carry on a
normal college career.
I have been in many hospitals,
and I have yet to find one in which
the nurses broadcast the patient-'
temperatures. If a student is in
the Infirmary, she can rest as-
sured that she will be released as
soon as the doctors think she is
well and able to care for herself.
It is perfectly ridiculous to be-
lieve that the doctors are anxious
to keep healthy students hospital-
ized — taking beds away from
people who are really "ill and
making more work for an already
over-taxed staff.
If "there is not a great deal of
confidence on the part of the stu-
dent body in the Infirmary," that
lack of confidence is due to ignor-
ance on the part of the student
body. During the long months I
spent in the Infirmary, I saw many
young people whose college car-
eers—whose entire lives— might
have been ruined had it not been
for the medical skill, the sympa-
thetic understanding, the untiring
efforts, the complete devotion of
the doctors and nurses. As one of
those students who owes her fu-
ture to the Wellesley medical staff,
I can only express my gratitude
by begging other Wellesley
dents to discover the true facts
and reasons before criticizing un-
justly.
Sincerely yours,
Elizabeth Birdsall, '43.

dent of the class of 1945 an-

WELLESLEY COLLEGE NEWS. APRIL 26. 1945
Miss Manwaring Speaks
Before Wellesley Clubs
Miss Elizabeth W. Manwaring,
Chairman of the Department of
English Composition, returned two
weeks ago from addressing the
Wellesley Alumnae Clubs of Buf-
falo, Detroit, Cincinnati, Colum-
bus, and Cleveland. The article
in the Wellesley Alumnae publica-
tion on the prize winners of the
Dodd Mead Intercollegiate Fel-
lowship, Catherine Lawrence '43
and Mary Vardoulakis '44 had
aroused such interest in Welles-
ley's Department of English Com-
position and in the changes in
teaching composition at Wellesley,
that at the suggestion of President
McAfee and Mrs. Katharine Tim-
berman Wright, President of the
Alumnae Association, Miss Man-
waring addressed the clubs.
"Preparation for Writing in a
Changing World" was the title of
her address to the Buffalo and
Columbus clulis and "Recent Edi-
tions to the Wellesley Bookshelf"
was the title of her address to
the others. The first lecture dealt
with the enormously increased op-
portunities for women in journal-
ism, social agencies, such as gov-
ernment agencies and radio and
Red Cross. The second mentioned
books by Wellesley authors which
have appeared in the last 15
months: One Day on Beetle Rock,
by Sally Carrigher (pen name of
Dorothy Wagner ex-'22), Knopf;
The Private Adventures of Cap-
in in Sham, by Edith Foley Shay
'15, collaborating with Katherine
Smith (Mrs. John Dos Passos),
Houghton Mifflin; Tin Narrowing
Wind, by Catherine Lawrence '43,
Dodd Mead; and those which will
appear in the next few months:
Home to India, by Vasanthi Rama
Rau '44, Harpers; and These
Many Roots by Mary Vardoula-
kis '44, Dodd Mead.
Entertained in Buffalo
In Buffalo Miss Manwaring
dined with Mildred Miles Jaffe
'22, a member of the Middle Tem-
ple, London, and the New York
State Bar. At a supper meeting
in Detroit she was entertained at
the home of Charlotte Henze
Decker '13. The C. G. president
of 1920, Charlotte Hassett Tos-
bach, was present.
In Cincinnati she was the guest
of Janet Callahan '41, now a re-
porter on the Cincinnati Fust. At
B luncheon given by a classmate,
Mrs. Allen Collier '02, Miss Man-
waring met Mr. .Murray Season-
pood whose Godkin lectures at
Harvard are used in our Political
Science courses. At the Cincin-
nati Art Museum she saw the ex-
hibition of Crit ceSj under
the guidance of a former student
whose husband, W. H. Siple, is
the director of the Museum. A
supper club meeting was held at
the home of Mrs. Barnard
Schwartz '30.
Guest of Mrs. Wright
In Columbus, Miss Manwaring
was the guest of Mrs. Wright.
The club meeting was held in the
noon at the home of Hazel
Sharrard Kaufman ex-'15. Mrs.
Leslie Bigelow '05, President of
the Club, gave a luncheon at the
Country Club at which Dr. Boyn-
ton Merrill, a Wellesley trustee;
Dr. Howard L. Bevis, President
of Ohio State University; Mrs.
Bevis, and Mr. Samuel Shellabar-
ger, head of the Columbus School
for Girls and the author of Cap-
tain from Castile were among the
guests. She was entertained at
supper by Professor and Mrs.
Walley, whose daughters, Kath-
arine '48 and Alice '46, are at
Wellesley. In Cleveland a dinner
of executive officers preceded an
evening meeting at the home of
Mrs. Raymond Hengst.
Miss Manwaring said the meet-
ings were well attended by alum-
nae, and that everyone felt an ex-
treme interest in the affairs of
the college.

Get your clothes out ahead of
time and tie all shoes in pairs.
Any articles large or small will
be of great help to the destitute
who receive them.
The Wellesley College Collection
will be conducted by the War Ac-

gan '46, Head of Salvage this
year, and Harriet Fenn '47, Head
of Salvage next year, are in
charge. The house reps will see
that each house donates as much

In her talk
On "Women in Politics," Moinlay
Miss Connors urged partici[>

Connors, "There li a difference in

due to the fact thai women have
houldered the full responsi-

Miss Connors defined politics
broadly, saying th "th<
way in which and the organiza-
tion by which government works."
She said that although many wo-
men have neither the time nor
the interest to run for office,
they may be active in politii
being active in the government in
the community, such afl working
in the League of Women Voters,
on the Community Chest, and on
government boards.
The problem of party member-
ship was also discussed. Miss
Connors deplored the pre
feeling in this country that "poli-
tics means anything unph
about government." She said that
since parties performed the im-
portant function in this country
of nominating and often electing
the people's representatives, "ii
is important that parties be dem-
ocratic in structure," and if we
want to correct the government
in parties, the way to do so is to
get in the party and work for
improvement. "Every active citi
zen," said Miss Connor.-, "should
contribue more to his party
than voting on election day."

What Parly?
"The question of what party to
join involves many considera-
tions," said Miss Connors. First,
you should decide what kind of
government you want and then
examine the platforms, leaders,
and records of the parties to
which one agrees with the ideals
you consider important. "If
work for a minor party," said
Miss Connors, "you'll be wasting
your time if you're looking for a
job or the immediate implem
tion of your ideals, but not if you
believe that the opinion of a mi-
nority in the long run influences
the opinion of the majority."
Miss Connors did not believe that
this was the difference between
,an opportunist and a person of
principle, but merely two differ-
ent ways of achieving the same
end.
Miss Connors graduated from
Wellesley in 1935 with honors,

WELLESLEV COLLEGE NEWS, APRIL 26, 1945
Remedy Negro Problem
With Political Action
Speech by Barbara Scott to Mademoiselle, College Forum, N. Y., April 7
Problems of the Negro
To discuss the problems of thir-
teen million people — one-tenth of
a nation— in ten minutes is rather
a large order. So I have limited
my discussion to one phase, the
application of political ad ion. For
many years it was thought that
if any problem existed, and many
people refused to admit that it did,
as best to keep it under cover.
But in recent year > fcence
has been more and more widely
• nizcd. This new trend of
bringing the problem into the open
healthy Blgn of social advanee-
Bccompanied a gen-
eral trend of popular political ac-
tion. The two, I feel, go hand in
hand, and the applic.it ion of politi-
k t ton v, ill eventually help solve
the Negro problem.
Two Basic Problems
Perhaps two of the basic prob
I. in of the Negro are economic
and educational discrimination.
When combined, they form a vici-
ous circle. The Negro finds him-
self unable tn i" i economic s se-
of job discrimina-
tion; he n Ice a job at low
His children are then
d to leave school at an early
age to contribute to the family
income. Since the standard of
ition I "i Hie Negro child in
the South (and the bulk of t la-
Negro population is in the South)
is so much lower than even the
low standard set for the south, m
white child, lli<' Negro child is un-
der ;i definite handicap, both edu-
nally and economically. His
Inadequate education prevents him
from getting a better-paying job.
This situation is not limited to the
h Imt also exists in the North.
No mattei whi re he turns in the
economic world, the Negro work-
er faces discrimination. As the
old snying goes, he is "the last to
be hired and the first to be fin
Once hired, his opportunity for
"upgrading > more limited
than that of white workers in sim-
ilar jobs, a good example of this
■ i <ii elimination was 'the Phil-
adelphia Transit Company strike

ductors. The alleviation of this

bined union and government ac-
tion.
FEPC Aids Negro.
During the war, ec me dis-
crimination has been affected to
a greal III by the Fair Em-
ployment Committee.
The formation of this committee
was the resull ni' direct political
ore. Although an employer
cannot be forced by law to em-
ploy anyone he doesn't wish to
hire, an FEPC discourages the
more blatant discrimination. This
Committee has the power to in-
tigate any complaint in a gov-
ment contract plant «>i discrim-
ination hecause of race, religion
or national origin. It has auth-
ority to issue orders which can,
if necessary, be enforced by the
President with the aid of the
Army. Mere investigation by the
FEPC has been affective in ending
discrimination in 40 percent of
cases; issuance of an FEPC order
has heen required in 12 percent
of cases; and in only 3 percent
has action by the President been
necessary. The FEPC has not only
been a help to workers in minor-
ity groups but has also played
a large part in easing the labor
shortage in war industries.
Discrimination Reduced
As I said, the formation of this
Committee was the direct result
of political pressure. Its continu-
ance has been the result of politi-
cal pressure. Its future as a per-
ot organization will depend
on political pressure. Although
this may be but one step in the
breaking down of economic dis-
crimination, it shows the kind of
thing that political action can do.
As a result of the pressure being
ht on Congress at the pres-
ent time to create a permanent
FEPC, several state legislatures
have proposed state FEPC laws.
York has already passed its
Ives-Quinn law; New Jersey,
Afasaachusetl , Connecticut, Penn-
Mia. Illinois, California, In-
diana and Ohio are now consider-
ing similar bills. If these bills
their respective state legis-
latures, the breaking down of
economic discrimination will not be
just a wartime measure, but a
permanent step in the solution of
the Negro problem. Whether
these bills pass, or not, will de-
pend on the amount of organized
political pressure brought to bear
bate legislators.
Schools Inadequate
As I have pointed out, the
limitation Of economic opportunity
iosely connected with the lim-
itation of educational opportunity.
Let us look at a typical Negro
school in the South. It is com-
posed of one small room with four
windows. The equipment consists
of one wooden stove, rough bench-
es without backs, a cracked, black-
pamled wall which serves as a
blackboard. This is the institution
of learning for thirty-six children,
aged six to sixteen. There are
live hooks for all thirty-six, one
a geography published in 1880.

College Forum
Airs Views on
World Affairs
Mademoiselle held its -econd An-
nual College Forum on "The Fruits
of Victory. 1910 VB, 194 - -?" in
New York, April 7. Will
was represented among the speak-
ers by Capt. McAfee, who spoke
on education, and Barbara Scott
'4. r ). who discussed "The Problems
of the Negro." The purpose of
MademoUelle'e forum was to bring
college women and experts to-
gether in discussion of world prob-
lems with the hope of stimulating
the students to thought and to
action. Among representatives
from the sixteen Eastern women's
colleges, Barbara Scott '45, Vir-
ginia I in ild '46, Mary Alice Cul-
len '4G, and Mary V. "Hickman '46
attended the Forum from Welles-
ley.
Thf three panels of this year's
political forum concerned "Return
to Normalcy, Picture of Post War
L919", "194 --?". and "194--? anil
the Campus". Lt. John Mason
Brown acted as chairman of the
panels. Men and women expert
in their fields discussed world
problems in ten minute surveys
followed by student discussion.
This brevity of speeches permitted
the Forum to cover a wide range
of subject matter.
Fditor of New Republic Speaks
Speaker of the first panel was
Bruce Bliven, President and Ed-
itor of The New Republic, who
discussed the issues which proved
primary stumbling blocks to the
peace-makers of World War I.
First, Mr. Bliven stated in spite
of claims, the worl was not yet
ready for the idea of world peace;
secondly, the leaders of some of
the great powers did not sincerely
desire the success of the peace
league, but, accepting i.t in de-
ference to Wilson, were assuming
its failure. Thirdly, through the
mechanism of treaty forming, the
League of Nations was bound to
the unworkable Peace Treaty, and
fourthly, the nations did not at-
tempt to settle decisively the con-
tin it between collective security
and imperialism. Mr. Bliven ex-
pressed his confidence that if the
people of the world so desire, they
can overcome these past stumbling
blocks in forming the peace of the
future.
Unit, moisells's second panel on
"194--?" opened with a discus-
sion of religious and racial pre-
judices. Barbara Scott's speech on
the "Problems of the Negro" is
printed on this page. Everett Toss
Clinchy, President of the National
Conference of Christians and Jews
spoke of religious discrimination.
Speaking of "The Place of Min-
ority Political Groups", Lisa Ser-
gio, radio news commentator, made
a plea to America to rise above
individual group differences and
desires, and concentrate on the
universal elements in democracy.
Professor Walton Hamilton of
Yale School of Law discussed
"Laissez-faire or Government Reg-
ulation". Carl Van Doren, author
and lecturer, delivered the lunch-
eon address on "Defeatism". We
must avoid, Mr. Van Doren urged,
a feeling that peace is impossible,
and at the same time must not
judge the inarticulate mass of
people solely by the articulateness
of a few.
Dr. Mead Discusses Social
Responsibility
Dr. Margaret Mead, Associate
Curator of the American Museum
of Natural History, spoke of
"Social Responsibility Toward Our
Fellow Men." Since our country,
said Dr Mead, has the particular
y of having developed the
United States of America, we are
the ones who must have confidence
in the possibility of a United
States of the World.

Scotty
Despite the fact
[that Barbara
Scott '45 claims
she used up all
(her energy Fresh-
man year doing
I those traditional
Wellesley feats of
walking around
the laks, climb-
the Tower,
d swimming in
the pool, she
seems to have
saved up enough for the rest of her
college career. Her job as Head
of Forum this year should be
proof enough, but Scotty doesn't
stop there. Last October she went
to the He mid Tribune Forum in
New York and this semester she
has just returned from making a
speech for Mademoiselle on "The
Negro Problem." And somehow,
. finds time every Friday
night to go into Boston's U.S.O.
In the past, that is, Junior year,
she was Head of Publicity for
Junior Show, Head of Debating,
Tower's Junior Council member,
and the student representative on
the Mayling Soong Foundation.
In the immediate future, May 23,
she will be interviewed over
WQXR in New York— a result
of her Mademoisi He speech. Scot-
ty says of the more distant fu-
ture, "I'm in a quandary; it'll
either be law school or a job, and
probably it'll be law school with
emphasis on legal research and
labor law."
"I haven't had any hobbies since
I collected miniature animals when
I was a kid, which has no hidden
significance at all," she said, then
added as an afterthought, "I was
terribly disturbed when I found
out in Psych, that not having any
bobbies is a sign of retarded de-
velopment." Right now Scotty has
two pandas named Fuji and Ya-
ma, and Earl Browder — a chintz
elephant who passes down the line
of Forum Presidents.
A political Science major, Scotty
admits, "My interests are strictly
in the social sciences. I took
just enough else to meet all the
requirements." Scotty answered
a question about music with "I'm
a monotone. I took piano lessons
for ten years and I can't play a
note, but I like to listen, espe-
cially to Gershwin."
After Scotty had made the rash
statement that she has led a very
unexciting and uninteresting life,
she qualified it by remembering
the Democratic Convention of last
summer which she attended, and
all the doings of Forum in gen-
eral, especially her opportunities
of meeting the Forum lecturers,
Darlington Hoopes, Leverett Sal-
tonstall and others.
"You might say that my room
is always like Grand Cential Sta-
tion" (that coming from a native
of Washington, D. C, must have
its significance). "People are al-
ways leaving things in my room
and then coming in to collect."
The door opened and about three
fifth-floor Towerites came in, not
to collect belongings, but bearing
crackers and lobster paste for af-
ternoon tea.
Vandermeulen
Gives Lecture;
Last of Series
Mrs. Daniel Vandermeulen, In-
structor in the Department of
Economics, presented a lecture on
"Post- War Fiscal Policy" yester-
day afternoon, April 25, at Pendle-
ton Hall. Mrs. Vandermeulen dis-
cussed inflation, public debt, tax-
ation, and private and government-
controlled business in the post-war
period.
Yesterday's lecture was the last
of a series of five presented by
members of the Department of
Economics during the year. The
series was designed primarily to
introduce students of Economics
101 to the department and to cur-
rent economic problems.
"The Functions of a Price Sys-
tem," "Inflation," "The History
of Advertising," and "The Future
of Social Security" were the topics
of the four previous lectures given
by other members of the depart-
ment.
labor in the post-war period, Dr.
Raymond Walsh, WMCA radio
news commentator, pointed out
that the greatest contribution the
U. S. can make to world peace is
the production of a state of eco-
nomic stability in our own country.
"World Security and the United
States" was the next topic of
panel discussion. Mrs. Vera Mi-
cheles Dean, Research Director of
the Foreign Policy Association
spoke of the value of Dumbarton
Oaks agreements. Dr. Mabel
Niwcomer, the only woman dele-
gate to Bretton Woods, who has
recently given a Forum lecture
here at Wellesley, discussed the
vital importance of such an agree-
ment as Bretton Woods for any
peace plan which will be attempt-
ed. Representing the League of
Women Voters, Mrs. B. Mahon
spoke of "Citizen's Responsibility".
As opening speaker of the
Forum's third panel, Capt. Mc-
Afee discussed "Post War Educa-
tion". Capt. McAfee stated that
she was impressed by present
higher education, but in analyzing
education for strengthening in the
post-war period, ^he -tressed a
need for "resilient creatures" who
Can accept responsibility.
Dr. Merrill to Speak
At Chapel on April 29
Dr. William P. Merrill, pastor
emeritus of the Brick Presbyterian
Church of New York City, will
lead chapel Sunday morning, April
2!). A communion service will fol-
low the regular service.
President of the trustees of the

and "Not Alone for Mighty Em-
pire." A graduate of Rutgers, he

mean the abolition of the maximum
eight hour day and of other pro-
tective labor laws which are ap-
plicable to women and children
only. Congress is opposed to the
amendment, but could not avoid
dealing with it. "Everytime a
Congressman opened his door,"
Miss Connors laughed, "there was
'Women's rights' on the door-
step.' "
Many states, Connecticut as an
example, have been introducing
many liberal reform and social
welfare bills The influence of the
New Deal legislation, whether op-
posed or accepted, has brought a
lot of this about, Miss Connors be-
lieves. "The F.E.P.C. bill in Con-
necticut will probably be passed
by the Senate this week. So far,
the Governor hasn't come out for
it or opposed it; but now, he'll
have to show his hand." Miss
Connors does not think that the
1 onnecticut House of Representa-
tives will pass the liberal bills in-
troduced in the Senate— including
the F.E.P.C. bill.
Regarding the 1948 election, Miss
I .Minors said, "Truman will prob-
ably be renominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention— but won't be
elected." Wallace, she feels, does
not have a chance for the nomin-
ation because of his liberal odeas
and his refusal to compromise on
them."
Miss Connors does not think that
Dewey will be the Republican
presidential candidate in '48. Stas-
sen, she thinks may be a potential
candidate although there is no defi-
nite trend in his direction.
As for Miss Connors' future in
the political limelight, her enthu-
siasm has not died out — or even
heen discouraged by her defeat
last fall. She still has great hopes
and plans for a successful future
in politics — not only for herself,
but for all politically ambitious
women.

The Composition Department
had planned this fully.
How were they to hand OUt the
red question for the exam
in the mosl painless fashion?
,,r all, they decided coffee
and cake would be a good thing.
Then Miss Michael and Miss Berk-
man invited Mr. Nabakov to come
ami make the fateful announce-
ment as painless as possible. Stu-
dents of 207 agreed that lie ful-
filled hi in admirably.
Reads Unpublished Story
Mi. Nabokov read aloud one of
unpublished short stories,
which he named "Double Talk."
It was the story of a man who
had an unknown namesake, and
the troubles and adventures into
which he was thrown because of
this unhappy coincidence. After
he had finished, there was a
lengthy question period.
"I get an idea," said Mr. Na-
bokov, "and I live with it for a
long time, perhaps a month. Af-
ter that time, 1 simply have to
record the words on paper." An
uneasy titter rippled about the
room. "You mean you just sit

toward a lamp. " tance,

first thought that comes into your
mind?" "Oatmeal," replied a near-
by listener. "Fine, fine." he said.
"At one time in your life, you
probably ate too much oatmeal.
There is a story."
Mr. Nabokov has been using
English as a medium of writing
only four years, and he claims
that this is quite a handicap to
him. His publishers, however, do
not seem to share his views, for
his stories have received wide ac-
claim, and have appeared in the
Atlantic Monthly and other pub-
lications. He has also written
novels, which have appeared in
Russian, and poetry in both lan-
guages.

pealing." Each girl made four
drawings — one of each scene— and
was given for her final work the
scene on which she had done the
best job. Just before Long Week-
end color sketches were made, and
over the vacation Miss Abbott had
these made into slides.
' When the girls came back to
class, Miss Abbott projected each
scene on the boards on which the
final murals would be painted, and
the artists traced around the out-
lines of the projections. This
device saved the class many hours
of blocking off their boards and
sketches.
Color Planning
The class spent much time plan-
ning the color make-up of the
murals to blend with the pale
,, walls of the Well and with
one another. Mixing the colors
absorbs much time and effort for
each shade must be exactly cor-
rect before it can be applied to
the permanent design.
Painting these murals has been
the class "project" for Art 208
this year. In other years, "proj-
ects"" have included illustrations
for books, decorative sculpture.
and other forms of painting for
public enjoyment. The murals will
be put up in the Well as soon as
they are finished, and when a car-
penter can be hired to do the
necessary work.

Planning on C A Spring Weekend
The three C.A. Board members
and Mr. Gale tried not to act too
surprised when a little man whom
they asked said that the huge.
'ized-loohmg building over
there was their lodge for the an-
nual C.A. Spring Weekend held
April 21 and 22. They had ex-
pected a cozy cabin in the woods,
but this was the Girl Scout Lodge
at Cedar Hill. They had followed
a map drawn by a member of Out-
ing Club who said it was only a
short distance. So, undaunted by
appearances, they went inside to
wait for the rest of the week-
enders to arrive by bus.
Entering the building, appro-
priately called "The Rookery,"
they found a room, "big enough
for a swell barn dance" accord-
ing to Hope Freeman. It was
here that they were to spend most
of their weekend, blanketed in
smoke (the draft on the fireplace
didn't work), trying to avoid the
winds of a Massachusetts April.
By six o'clock, those who had
ad the bus arrived, complete
with blanket rolls a la Wellesley
towels.
Gala Evening
Supper was a happy occasion,
for they just made believe that
the head of lettuce for the salad
really was lettuce and not the
cabbage they had brought along
by mistake. Having satisfied their
appetites, they settled down to an
evening of discussion and plan-
ning, not minding too much the
janitor who pictured himself a
guardian angel and constantly put
more wood on the smoking fire,
1 1 creetly asking for his money
in return for this unsolicited help.
So engrossed were the girls in
plans that they did not ad-
journ the meeting on Mr. Gale's
departure for the security of Wel-
lesley, but after a brief intermis-
sion for interpretive modern danc-
ing by the more aesthetic of the
group and a change to PJ's, the
discussion went on until 1:00 a.m.
when Kay Warner asked for a
vote, and gettijig no response,
fpund herself the only member
awake. The meeting was ad-
journed for lack of a quorum, and
the seven weekenders settled
themselves to a night of seeing
who could get the most of the
forty blankets.
Some time during the night
Ginny Beach dreamt that it was
tradition for the new C.A. Board
to do away with the old presi-
dent. Who would save Julie
Burnet the trouble of taking a
general?? Just as the crucial mo-
ment of decision arrived, Packy
turned over in her sleep and mut-
tered, "Vice president, vice presi-
dent." Not that she has homi-
cidal tendencies or anything.
Sunday a Busy Day
Up again at 7 o'clock, some
took tramps through the woods,
or tried to find their way through
the maze of hedge constructed to
baffle Girl Scout campers. It
seemed to fulfill its purpose on
college students too. Mr. Gale
arrived, and led the Sunday ser-
vice — before breakfast!! His re-
quest for strong coffee on finish-
ing was filled with a truly potent
brew.
With a few stretches and good
times for relaxation, the morning
was spent in planning the pro-
gram and purposes for next year.
Dinner, prepared by two fresh-
men, was good despite the "grim
gravy" which proved the maxim
that too many cooks spoil the
broth. Afterwards reports were
finished, and some left, while the
bitterenders stayed to tie up the
loose threads, eat the left-over
food, and reflect on the good time
that they had had.
